No, Scythian, the GOP establishment isn’t “behind this.” Newt is.
Newt’s nastiness has been known for years, and he alone is responsible for his terrible choices of personal behavior, which is public knowledge. It’s silly to expect it to stay under the carpet in a Presidential race.
Do you seriously think it won’t be campaign fodder if he were to win the nomination? Let’s get it over with.
Newt is a flawed candidate. They all are. I want to gag when I see him with his nasty Callista.
But I’ll vote for him. I’m not looking for a saint, but someone with a good mind and a mean streak, so maybe he’s the best we can do this year. I hope he trounces both Romney and Obama.

Indeed, I think we need a fighter, not a play along to get along type like GWB. Newt may be Nasty, but he is our monster.
